Many years ago I came to the same conclusion - which is why commentpara.de, my websub server phubb and my indieweb search engine phinde as well the OUYA and Playjam GameStick server software I wrote all have zero dependencies.

At work I see the amount of work that has to go into keeping software running when just keeping dependencies up to date, and this is not worth it in the long run - especially given the current state of libraries and frameworks that bring out major versions every year, breaking compatibility every time.
